Rebels: From Punk to Dior

Janette Beckman and Drago Publishing are proud to present the second edition of ‘Rebels: From Punk to Dior,’ the debut monograph from the British-born, New York-based photographer. Covering four decades of photography, the book offers a striking glimpse into Beckman’s profound impact on the realms of art, photojournalism, music, fashion, and popular culture. Above all, it underscores her extraordinary talent for uncovering beauty in the fringes of society.

Notable figures from Beckman’s world have contributed written pieces to the book, including Jason King, Chair of NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music; Vivien Goldman, Author, and Professor at NYU; journalists Vikki Tobak and Kim Hastreiter, co-founder of PAPER magazine; visual artist Cey Adams; music icons Sting, Run DMC, Paul Weller, Salt-n-Pepa, Belinda Carlisle, and Slick Rick; and fashion luminaries Dapper Dan, Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri, and Levi’s Chad Hinson. ‘From Punk to Dior’ underscores Janette Beckman’s indelible influence in her field.

‘From Punk to Dior’ has been presented in London at The Photographers’ Gallery, in New York at Fotografiska Gallery, the International Centre of Photography, the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Dior Fifth Avenue store, in Paris at Le Grand Jeu Gallerie and at the Dior Avenue Montaigne, and in Los Angeles at the Fahey Klein Gallery.
